You will learn how to transform data as well as how to design and adjust the data model. You will be introduced to more advanced data models and how you can start working with your own data model with different data sources.

Lastly, you will learn how to update, combine and share reports and dashboards in your organization and how to easily search for new insights in already existing dashboards.
